An English translation of the Arabic, Jefferson's Quran was published in 1764 in London, a later printing of one originally published in 1734.
According to Islamic tradition, a translation of the Koran is not a Koran, but a commentary on it. A Koran is real only if it is in the original Arabic. So those who didn't want him to swear on a Koran are actually getting their wish.
